Setup 3 bots with Sapphire

Hello ! I'd like to set up 3 bots with Sapphire. But I'd like to have everything in the same code to share certain components. What I'm doing for the moment is creating 3 instances of SapphireClient, in which I define a path to retrieve commands, listeners, etc ... My problem: I'd like to add access to my database in container but I can't see how to do it. Is it possible to define a property in container as soon as SapphireClient is initialised? Thanks! (this is my first experience with SapphireClient)

Solution:

you're far far better off making a module with its own package.json for the shared code and then use workspaces to install it in your bots

They have a guide on how add things to the container here https://www.sapphirejs.dev/docs/Guide/additional-information/using-and-extending-container

The container is a way in which Sapphire achieves Dependency Injection. This is a very useful feature, since it

Oh, the container isn't specific to the SapphireClient, it's common to all the code?

KaydaFox•7mo ago

Yup The client is on the container Not the other way around I'm not sure how it handles multiple bots in the same codebase though

that does mean that container.client will be the last constructed client tho so not a good idea

  |- bot1/
     |- package.json -> has @myproject/shared as dependency
  |- bot2/
     |- package.json -> has @myproject/shared as dependency 
  |- bot3/
     |- package.json -> has @myproject/shared as dependency
  |- shared/
     |- package.json
package.json -> root package.json for workspace config

Trust me when I say you'll ensure way way fewer headaches down the road that way. Not just with this particular connumdrem but many to come in the future

I can't see how I can do it technically

I see! But I think that's a pretty heavy structure for a personal bot

Favna•7mo ago

it really is not it's just being smart

Mathias•7mo ago

Ok, and can I have a lib (for exemple discordjs), on top package.json ?

Favna•7mo ago

yes but when using workspaces you'll only have 1 node_modules anyway as symlinks are used so there is no difference, RTM

Ohh ok, thanks !
